People eat chicken... People wouldn't just become vegan without GMOs, they'd eat the same food and its price would go up. The US would stop exporting all its soy and asian pork farms would collapse. Without imported food asian countries would not be able to feed their populace.

> I wonder how did they get into poverty in the first place.

Human history is basically nothing but suffering and starvation. 80% of the population was living in extreme poverty before the industrial revolution. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/distribution-of-populatio...

I think her performance at question shined a light on the incompetence of her administration, destroying her support and causing her to resign, yes.

The serious consequences are that if you do especially badly like Truss did yesterday the voters get pissed and you have to resign.

I have some doctors in my family and they told me that when their system switched to Epic, Epic sent a consultant to sit in their office for months and answer questions because every new user complains about UX.

Hard to believe people who have actually thought about the consequences of demoderation could possibly support it. It would instantly be the end of all forums. Moderation isn't always perfect, but it is infinitely better than a free for all.

All rights are legal rights. No one has any rights without a legal system.

No, my job requires me to have internet while travelling. That means phone companies. It could be solved, but would have a huge impact on my life.

Right, but the enforcement is actually "no one can make anyone else uncomfortable about being white"

My department's policy was a 3.2 curve. So half the students in every class got B+ or worse. 2.75 is a B-, most classes had at least 30% at or below there.

> “Serious” students are largely only found in degree programs that have weeder courses.

I went to a top 20 university, even higher ranked CS program. There were plenty of weeder courses. There were also plenty of students that were only there to get the piece of paper they believed, probably rightly, was necessary to get the job they wanted. All of the CS courses were recorded, attendance never mandatory for lectures. It was not uncommon at all for lectures to be less than half full due to students watching a months worth of lectures right before exams.

Everyone who works on mySQL is going to read this to mean he thinks they're idiots, and that's what matters.

Simply being honest doesn't mean you're not unneededly insulting everyone around you. He can say he had a radically different appraisal of the technical viability of mySQL without calling everyone he works with an idiot.

Insulting your coworkers and users is childish, and that's exactly what this post is. "More jarring were the people who insisted everything was OK" "was hailed as “efficient” (it wasn't)." In fact that's pretty much all it is. There are plenty of ways to complain without burning every bridge around you.

> Does anyone believe it means exclusively that?

I'd say about 90% of people believe that since they don't know cryptography is a thing. Now if you're talking to people that work in tech it's a different story, and they'd probably accept both definitions.

Swap after mixing and I don't think anyone would care. There are plenty of legitimate users of defi swappers.

I don't see why exchanges would reject say $1 million in clean crypto.Maybe not coinbase, but the offshore exchanges would probably be fine.
